Abstract In the study, the mechanical and microstructural properties of friction stir welded EN AW-6060 Aluminum Alloy plates were investigated. The friction stir welding (FSW) was conducted at tool rotational speeds of 900, 1250, and 1500 rpm and at welding speeds of 100, 150 and 180 mm/min. The effect of the tool rotational and welding speeds such properties was studied. The mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by means of micro-hardness (HV) and tensile tests at room temperature. The tensile properties of the friction stir welded tensile specimens depend significantly on both the tool rotational and welding speeds. The microstructural evolution of the weld zone was analysed by optical observations of the weld zones

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

The effect of processing parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of dissimilar AA6082-AA2024 joints produced by Friction Stir Welding was analysed in the present study. Different samples were produced by employing a fixed rotating speeds of 1600 RPM and by using the advancing speeds of the tool of 80 and 115 mm/min. All the welds were produced in direction perpendicular to the rolling one for both the alloys and by changing, for all the processing conditions, the alloy positioned on the advancing side of the tool. The mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by room temperature tensile tests. Fatigue tests on the welds were carried out by using a resonant electro-mechanical testing machine under constant loading control up to 250 Hz sine wave loading. The fatigue tests were conducted in the axial total stress-amplitude control mode with R=smin/smax=0.1. The microstructural evolution of the material was analysed by optical observations of the welds cross sections and SEM observations of the fracture surfaces.

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

The effect of processing parameters on the mechanical and microstructural properties of dissimilar AA6061 t6–AA5083 0 joints produced by friction stir welding was studied. Different samples were produced by varying the advancing speeds of the tool as 20 and 40 mm/min and by varying the alloy positioned on the advancing side of the tool. In the various trials the rotating speed is varied from 600 to 900 RPM. All the welds were produced perpendicular to the rolling direction for both the alloys. Micro hardness (HV) and tensile tests performed at room temperature were used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the joints. Various tests were performed on the joints previously subjected to ageing. In order to analyze the micro structural evolution of the material, the welds’ zones were observed optically.

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

In the current investigation, AA2024 aluminum alloy is reinforced by alumina nanoparticles using a friction stir process (FSP) with multiple passes. The mechanical properties and microstructure observation are conducted experimentally using tensile, microhardness, and microscopy analysis methods. The impacts of the process parameters on the output responses, such as mechanical properties and microstructure grain refinement, were investigated. The effect of multiple FSP passes on the grain refinement, and various mechanical properties are evaluated, then the results are conducted to train a hybrid artificial intelligence predictive model. The model consists of a multilayer perceptrons optimized by a grey wolf optimizer to predict mechanical and microstructural properties of friction stir processed aluminum alloy reinforced by alumina nanoparticles. The inputs of the model were rotational speed, linear processing speed, and number of passes; while the outputs were grain size, aspect ratio, microhardness, and ultimate tensile strength. The prediction accuracy of the developed hybrid model was compared with that of standalone multilayer perceptrons model using different error measures. The developed hybrid model shows a higher accuracy compared with the standalone model.

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

Friction stir welding (FSW) is solid state joining process with more advantages than that of fusion welding. Nylon -6 is one of the engineering plastics used widely in various industrial applications. The main aim of this research work is to investigate the effect of tool rotational speed and tool traversing speed on the mechanical and microstructural properties of the nylon-6 butt welded joints made by FSW. The FSW process was performed in a computer numerically controlled (CNC) vertical milling machine using a cylindrical tool with threaded pin made of heat treated high carbon high chromium (HCHCr) steel. The tensile testing and microscopic examinations were carried out to study the mechanical and microstructural properties of the welded joints. In visual inspection, it is observed that the excessive flashes are observed on either sides of the weld line in all cases. From the results, it is observed that the maximum tensile properties are achieved in a joint made which is approximately 18% and 26% of the parent material’s ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) respectively with the tool rotational speed 1200 rpm and the tool traversing speed of 30 mm/min within the experimented process parameters. Overall, the tensile properties of the welded joints made using the experimented process parameters are very much lower than the parent material.
